Ch. 11: 8. You Can't Keep Your Big Mouth Shut! pt2

A/N: Well, I'm writing this before I even post the first part of this....so I'm kinda flying blind with this chapter. Oh well! That's the way I usually am when I write. Hee Hee! ^-^ You'll be able to guess the pov right off the bat, so I won't bother naming the person. Enjoy!!

Disclaimer: **Sigh** I know dreams come true....so maybe one day I WILL own DBZ....until then, I'll just borrow them......

Oooooooooooooo! The nerve of that man! Here I was, worrying to death, and he has the gall to insult me and indirectly imply that I have a big mouth!

ARGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I should've let him lie there, bleeding, that no-good, egotistical, there's- a-stick-up-my-arse, handsome, strong.....**sigh**. Guess I can't stay mad at him for too long. He looks so cute when he's nervous. Heh heh. I'll just keep him on his toes tonight.

Oh, I'm sorry. You're probably wondering why I'm ranting on about absolutely nothing. And you're probably also wondering what Kook's nest I escaped....right? Hn, well, you have a right to think that. It all started after we went to see what happened to my two fearless warriors......

(((Flashback)))

Piccolo and Gohan seemed pretty jumpy. They said that both Vegeta and Goku's power levels kept going up for no apparent reason. Of course, being Saiyans...ahem....excuse me....SAIYA-JINS.....the fighter in them probably came out and they might've been sparring. I dunno, gimme a break! I can't sense ki! Yeah, but anyway....we all decided to go check up on them and make sure that they weren't actually killing each other.

The sky looked so pretty. The sun was beginning to set, and it threw beautiful shades of red, orange, pink, blue, and violet across the sky. Clouds that looked so soft slowly floated away in the sky. It literally was a Kodak moment. Ah, but these things don't usually last long on Earth. My attention was drawn away from my daydreams to the sparks that seemed to fly around the GR. Ok, again, nothing completely unusual for me...Vegeta always causes this reaction when he's training intensively. Then again, the sparks aren't normally this....large....(O_o)

I stood up on the generator, a not-so-safe thing to do, but I just had to make sure that they were ok. All I could see were two different colored ki's that met in the center. The blue tried to push back the gold, and the gold tried to push back the blue. It actually looked kinda neat! (^-^) But I could feel the vibrations against the metal dome and I knew that it wouldn't be long before the GR decided to blow.

Yamcha, Gohan, Krillin, and I banged the door as hard as we could while everyone else stood away, watching the flashing through the windows. My frustration grew with each passing minute.

"GOKU! VEGETA! GET OUT RIGHT NOW!!" I looked through the window in the door, saw both of them glance at me, then turned to their mini-battle. Oh...no they soooo did not! Kicking the door, I made even more noise and screamed different obscenities at them. And yet they still continued!

Then I saw it happen. Well, I felt it before I saw it.

Vegeta yelled something to Goku, I couldn't quite make it out. His ki aura flickered around him. I stood amazed. It was beginning to turn yellow...well, more golden. Flickered again. Again.

....That's when I felt it....

The ramp that leads up to the main door of the GR felt like a platform for some earthquake simulator. I gasped and nearly fell off. Luckily, Piccolo caught me and pulled, more like dragged, me towards the house. Everyone began to run as far away as they could, hoping to shield themselves. Then I turned to look at my prized invention before a golden light shot out of it and enveloped it.....

.....that's when I saw it......

Debris flew up and out over the compound. I could still make out Vegeta and Goku's silhouettes. That is, until Goku's head lulled back and he went face first into the ground. His Super Saiya-jin appearance disappeared, leaving the plain Saiya-jin we all know and love. Vegeta stood, slightly hunched over. His hair was spikier...if that's even possible....and blonde! His dark midnight eyes were some off-teal color. I nearly squealed for joy, I was so happy! My Prince turned to look at me, shot me one of his almost-smiles before his eyes rolled into the back of his head, his body joining Goku's on the ground.

So much for a celebration. I then noticed that I was the only one still standing out there. Soon, the others came to see what happened and we all rushed to get them into the Med. Bay. Yay...the story of my life: Vegeta eats, trains, blows up the GR, and we all make a quick run to the back of the house. Its then that I remember that neither Vegeta, nor Goku, have had anything to eat. Just great....

(*One Hour Later*)

I had just returned to the table after checking up on our Saiya-jin Super heroes. Of course, I was practically foaming at the mouth. Vegeta and Goku had insulted me....after all I've done for them! I don't have a big mouth! So I sat at the table, pouting like a little three year old. Then they made their appearance. Nobody seemed to really notice (or care) that they had walked in. The food had started to get cold, and my guests were mainly worried about feeding their neglected stomachs. I don't blame them.

Anyway, Vegeta came and sat between me and Gohan. That place had originally been meant for Goku, but I could tell that he wouldn't move. Goku sat in Vegeta's place (in front of me), not really caring as long as he got to eat. **lol** That's Goku for ya! He grabbed the nearest source of food and piled dish after dish on his large plate. Vegeta was doing the same, though he had some sort of graceful elegance in the way he served himself. He also wasn't drooling all over his plate.

"Goku! Save some for everyone else!" Gotta love Chi Chi. She know exactly how to handle Saiya-jins. Maybe I can borrow her frying pan one of these days....hmm..... The housewife eyed her Goku-san with a glare that could melt steel. Poor Goku, he shrunk away from the giant bowl of noodles in fear. Chi Chi seemed happy with his reaction, and continued on with whatever she was doing.

I watched Vegeta out of the corner of my eye. My plan was to give him the cold shoulder at dinner. It might put him on edge, and I know it would ruin me to not say something, but it had to be done. And so, I did.

"Onna, pass the noodles."

A simple demand, though it was one I wasn't going to accomplish. I could see him blink as I continued eating my wanton.

"Onna...PLEASE pass the noodles." Ah, now we're using our manners.

Again, I ignore him. Hearing him growl, I smirked inwardly, keeping a straight face.

"BULMA! What the heck is wrong with you? Pass the blasted noodles and stop acting like a child!" Amazingly, he isn't yelling, or screaming. Just talking rather loudly.

Hn, but he's managed to insult me once AGAIN! Why that little....oh wait. That's right...he's taller than I am...by a few inches. STILL!

By then, all I wanted to do was wrap my hands around his neck and squeeze the handsome life out of him. I can't bring myself to do it (self- preservation you know), and grab the bowl of noodles, lightly slam it on the table, and excuse myself from the room. I caught a glimpse of Goku watching me, one long noodle hanging from his mouth. His eyes narrow and he glares at Vegeta, who I guess glared back.

I stormed into the kitchen, sitting on the table, feet resting on the bench, back to the dinning room door. My anger had subsided as I realized that I had indeed acted like a child. A very silly child. Frankly, I have a big ego. And anyone who dares to tamper with it will face my wrath. Not that I'll destroy you with a Kame Hame-Ha or Final Flash, but I do have my ways....

.....heh heh....(^.^;;;;;;;;;)

All I could think of were different ways to hurt my new-found love interest. Chinese water torture? No...too........wet. The rack? Eww, too gruesome. My thoughts floated around causing me not to notice that someone else had entered the kitchen and stand behind me.

A strong pair of warm arms wrapped securely around my waist. I was startled, but held my breath, trying to figure out who it was. Then they buried their nose in the crook of my neck. Well, that's new! But it soon pieces together. The very familiar arms give me all the evidence I need.

"What do you want," I growl, for a change.

He chuckled in that oh-so-sexy way that he does. Its deep, soft, comforting. "Come now, Onna. Pouting is not very becoming of you."

I smirked, though he can't see my face. "You seem to think that its becoming of you." He let's out a soft sort that blows against my neck. I lean back into his arms and can feel him relax. Vegeta gives me a kiss on the side of my neck and once again buries his nose against me.

"Let's get back to the table," he stated, pulling me back slightly. I grab onto the edge and hold on. He gives me a quizzical look.

"No more insults tonight?" Grabbing my chin, he looks me in the eyes. "No more." I smile and he smirks, scooping me up in his arms, walking towards the swinging door before setting me back down again. He gently pushes me towards the door and we walk in, hardly missed.....

I can't help but wonder about the giant smirk that crossed Goku's features when we sat back down. What's he got on his mind?

......and this is where you joined me, correct? I've brought you completely up to date on all the events that are driving me up the wall......especially that smirk that Goku STILL has on his face. Its almost as if he knows more than he lets on...........
