Last time:

In her sleep she heard rustling above her and her eyes shot open. Beautiful, endless blue eyes opened to see her worst nightmare. Malicious, evil eyes stared back her. All she could do was scream, but she knew no one was listening. The gods had left her long ago.

Traitor

"STOP SCREAMING YOU UGLY CREATURE! It's not as if I don't loathe you enough, you filthy whore! Shut up and I won't kill you!!!" Vegeta screamed, shoving her into the tree she was leaning against. She so desperately wanted to burst out in tears and beg him not to kill her, but her pride wouldn't let her stoop to that level.

"WELL, IF YOUR HIDEOUS FACE WASN'T THE FIRST THING I SAW WHEN I OPENED MY EYES I WOULDN'T BE SCREAMING!!!" Bulma yelled, receiving a slap across the face for her troubles.

"What makes you think that I won't just kill you, you stupid bitch? I killed your little lover, why would I spare your disgusting hide?" He hissed in her ear, tightening his grip on her shoulders.

"Frieza was NOT my lover! He was my friend! He was the only person I trusted and you killed him! I hate you! I've ALWAYS hated you! I wish you'd die!" Bulma screamed back at him, tears pouring down her face. There was no way she could stop their flow any longer.

Vegeta didn't know what to say. He pushed himself off of her and stepped back from her, watching her sob. Didn't she remember anything? How could she say those things? She'd always hated him? She didn't mean it….she couldn't. He shook his head and cleared his head of those thoughts, concentrating once again on the now and not the then.

"You will come with me to my ship. If you do not, I will kill you," he stated as calmly as he could muster. He raised his palm to her face and began forming a ki blast.

"WAIT! Don't shoot me you psychotic freak! I didn't even give you an answer yet!!!!"

"Which is why I am slowly forming this ki blast…"

"AHH!! You are so irritating!!!!! Fine! I'll come with you!"

"Good. Hurry up, or I'll blast you anyways!" Vegeta snorted and began walking back out of the forest to his ship. He turned around to see Bulma slowly limping after him. A twinge of grief struck him seeing her in pain, but he brushed it aside and kept walking. The woman could make it.

They walked across the field Bulma had ran from, and this time Bulma noticed the things around her. When arriving on the planet Zrachnes she had noticed the beauty of the green fields and forests, abundant with flowers and wildlife scurrying around. Now she looked and saw a desolate, scary environment. She sighed as she realized that war was never without ugliness and destruction. Why did things always turn out this way?

She remember growing up on Frieza's home planet, and he was always by her side. He had always been a friend to her. She grew up in the midst of war and terror. She never understood why everyone always was attacking one another…and why they all wanted to kill Frieza. He was so kind….still, she felt like there was a gap. She'd always thought something wasn't how it should be. Sometimes, she'd feel like she was missing something, but have no idea why.

She erased these thoughts and kept walking…er, limping. She was starting to get dizzy. This seemed to be taking much longer than it had before. 'Why doesn't that stupid man just pick me up and fly us there? Dumb monkey…I wish he'd kill me and get it over with. There's nothing to live for anymore anyways,' she thought. She shrugged and kept going; kept walking through the barren landscape that seemed to go on forever.

Just as she was started to see the top of a ship from beyond the horizon, her vision started to get hazy and black and she stumbled. She lost her footing and sank to the ground, but she never felt it hit her. She slipped into unconciousness, and all she thought about was the pain.

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

Vegeta heard a "thunk" and turned around to see Bulma fall to the ground. His eyes widened and he rushed over to her side, not noticing as blood from his wounds dripped onto her. He picked her up and decided he might as well just fly to the ship; it wasn't far away now anyways. He mentally kicked himself for being so selfish and not flying them there in the first place. He knew the stupid wench wasn't fit to be walking all that distance anyways.

He landed in front of the ship and pressed his hand against a box beside the main door. The box flashed green and the door slid open. He walked inside and hurried to one of the rooms, and tossed…well he would have liked to think of it as a toss, but he knew it was more of a gentle drop, Bulma onto the bed. He gave her one last glance and then walked out to the bridge.

'Where should I go….I've finally killed that sadistic fiend…but now what? Only one thing to do I suppose…off to the house of King Cold…' Vegeta thought. He took the pilot's seat and programmed some coordinates into the front panel. He hoped there wouldn't be any trouble because he was far too tired to fuck around with stupid pests right now.

He was about to lay back in his chair and fall asleep when a splitting pain shot through his ribs and up to his shoulder. He cringed and looked down to see a gaping wound. 'How could I have not noticed this?' He thought, and got up. He walked down a long corridor and found himself in front of a single metal door. He walked up to it and it slid open to grant him entrance.

He looked around to see that everything was as he left it: his desk on the left, cot by the desk, clothes all over the floor, and regeneration tank in the right corner. Excellent. He smirked as he shed himself of his clothes and got into the tank. Soon he would be on planet Cold, and therefore the Emperor of all things. Yes, things were finally looking his way.

Now if only he could fix the woman. He groaned and let the liquid do it's job. He was soon asleep, and dreaming of the beauty of a certain blue goddess.

EEP! I know this was really short…but I've been having serious writers block issues…and well, I don't really quite know where I'm taking this yet! Of course I do have it all planned, but Hell! We'll just have to see! Thanks to my dear reviewers, I really appreciate it! I hope you liked this chappie…short as it may be…review please!!!!
