A Match Made in Heaven
Welcome to my messed up world. Bulma and Vegeta are my fav. DBZ characters, so you will find that I will be writing many stories about them. If you can help me out and figure out a good title for this, I can e-mail you the plot and you can help me… I'm just not very good at coming up with titles. Thanx
the faster you review, the faster I write
I have 2 stories going on at once, so I'll try to update as much as possible, most likely at least once a week
DISCLAIMER: I do not own anybody from DBZ (damn shame, tho).
CHAPTER 1 ~ A Blood Pact
Bulma smiled as her black-haired friend walked into the dining hall. The blue-haired Saiyan jumped up out of her seat and said, "Chichi! I didn't expect to see you at all today. Weren't you supposed to be visiting the palace with your father?"
Chichi laughed. "No, my dad took pity on me. Rather than…" her voice dropped, "than listening to some arrogant counsel and the royal pain-in-the-ass, he allowed me to stay home."
Bulma's blue eyes twinkled as she joined her friend. "Don't worry, we won't tell anybody. I'd have probably said the same thing." Her tail instinctively wrapped around her waist. "Oh!" she exclaimed. "I almost forgot to show you what my dad gave me." Bulma pulled a capsule out of a container. "In this capsule is my father's greatest invention…"
The door to the dining hall burst open as Dr. Briefs rushed in. "Put away that capsule, Bulma, the king is here!" He ushered his daughter and her friend out of the room and towards the main steps. King Vegeta burst through the door to see Dr. Briefs, Bulma, and Chichi on the steps.
"Briefs!" he bellowed.
Dr. Briefs stepped down and bowed. "If you will follow me, Your Highness." He turned towards the dining hall. King Vegeta's eyes however stayed focused on the blue-haired beauty standing frozen on the stairs. He smirked at her as he followed her father. That one will be mine, he thought. The dining hall door swung shut behind him.
Chichi and Bulma looked at each other. They both had seen how King Vegeta had looked at Bulma. They quietly slid down the steps and over to the door.
"So, Briefs" King Vegeta murmured, "do you have anything for me, yet?"
Dr. Briefs gulped. I don't want this Saiyan to have my gravity room, it'll make him too powerful. His nervousness showed as he spoke, "N…no, Your Royal Highness."
King Vegeta frowned. "You promised me something this month," he said, his voice dangerously low, "and by my power, I will have something." He smirked. "I know what I want." He stood up from the chair and walked to the door, he swung it open to reveal Bulma and Chichi standing there. "Her," he stated, pointing at Bulma.
Dr. Briefs dropped to his knees. "Father!" Bulma yelled as she ran past the grinning king. She gently placed her hands on her father's shoulders. "Daddy… don't give in," she whispered, "I would rather go, than you give him your invention."
Her father covered his face with his hands. "Kami, Bulma. I don't want to give up either. But I especially do not want you to go and become some slave when you deserve much better than a life like that." He pulled Bulma into a fatherly embrace.
"Well, Briefs. I do not have all day," the king crossed his arms.
Bulma withdrew herself from the embrace and faced the strong Saiyan. "I will be ready and at your palace tomorrow morning."
King Vegeta did not reply as he spun on his heels and left the house. Bulma, in turn, sank slowly into one of the chairs. I cannot believe what I just did, she thought.
Dr. Briefs could not even look at his daughter. He stood and quickly left the room, feeling terribly guilty for allowing his daughter to submit to such dishonor.
Chichi gently touched Bulma's shoulder. "Bulma, please, come outside with me. Allow me to talk to you. Please, Bulma, don't go through this alone."
The blue-haired Saiyan shook her head and reluctantly stood up. She followed her friend out of the dining hall and out the same way the king had barged in through. Chichi grabbed her arm, motioned for her to follow and took off into the sky, her friend trailing behind her.
She took Bulma to their lake. As children, they always used to fly to this lake and play, just to get away from everybody around them. They landed on the soft sand that surrounded the lake. Chichi looked at her friend. Biting her lip, she spoke, "Bulma. I'm not going to allow you to suffer alone." She covered her mouth with her hands, trying to find a way to say what she wanted. "I'm… I'm going to go with you."
Bulma gasped. "No, Chichi! I cannot allow you to do that."
Chichi held up her hand. A small scar was traced along the palm. "Remember this? Do you remember our promise? I won't let you do this alone, I promised. We promised."
**FLASHBACK**
Chibi Bulma dunked her friend under the water. She gurgled as she threw her friend off of her head. The pair laughed heartily as they crawled out of the lake.
Her smile left her face as she looked seriously at her dark-haired friend. "Chichi," she stated.
Chibi Chichi looked at her. "Yeah, Bulma."
"Are we going to be friends forever?"
She smiled. "I sure hope so, Bulma."
Chibi Bulma went silent for a few seconds. "I… I saw my daddy do this thing once. He and some other Saiyan cut their hands, made a promise to each other, and grasped hands. Wa…wanna try?"
Her smile left her face, as she grew serious. "Okay, we'll promise to stay together and protect each other." Chibi Chichi looked around for something sharp, only finding a rock with a sharp, pointy edge. She took the rock and sliced her right hand, handing the rock to Chibi Bulma, who in turn cut her right hand, also.
The two clasped hands as Chibi Bulma said, "We will be together forever, never letting you suffer without being there for you, not letting you be alone, ever."
Chibi Chichi repeated what her friend had said.
**END FLASHBACK**
Bulma frowned. "I don't want you to have to go through this. That was also a part of my promise that I made."
Chichi stopped protests from Bulma. "But you forget that the part of the promise was to never let you suffer without being there with you, and I plan on honoring that part of my promise. You cannot stop me."
The blue-haired Saiyan forced a smile. "You're a great friend, Chichi."
