Hey people thanks for reviewing. I got some reviews from people who haven't reviewed yet. I was soo happy! But then again I didn't get reviews from people that normally review. That means 1 of 2 things: 1.) They decided they didn't like my story. Or 2.) They can't find me because I changed my name. Hey it's not my fault! I told them I was tired of that stupid 1 behind my name! Any way..

Crazed fanatic anime fan: What do you mean you get the Leash thing?! I'm soo confuuuuuused. Not used, confused!

Naiyana: Well since you held up your end of the deal (reviewing). I guess I can do mine. Here's the next chapter!

Trunksvegetafrodo: Thanks once again! I never get tired of seeing your name in the reviews. Thanks a lot.

Kitsune Akira: SUGAR!!!!!!!

Vegeta: Now why in hell did you have to go and give her sugar?!

Purple Witchy Angel: Sugar good! Don't dis Leash sugar! Your always dising things Leash like! Now stop it!

Vegeta: Will you shut up already?! You still have more reviews to go through.

PWA: Right!

The-one-and-only-me: And hurray for you too! Thanks for reviewing. I up date as fast as I can. It will normally be on a Friday.

PWA: ......

Vegeta: What now?!

PWA: I seem to have misplaced some reviews. I can't find some.

Vegeta: That's because there isn't any more.

PWA: No more reviews!!! Aw come on people my story's not that bad is it?! I'm going to cry! Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Vegeta: All right all you wanna be punks you better review! Or you WILL pay for making my Angel cry! But . . . while she's occupied . . . She doesn't own Dbz. Thank God! Haven knows what she would have me do if she did.

PWA: I heard that Veggie! I may not own you Veggie-chan but I do own Leash, Wendy, and some other people I made up in my head.

Vegeta: We talk too much.

PWA: Yes we do! So on with the story!!!

Things Aren't Always What They Appear To Be

Chapter 8. The Purging Mission

As Bulma was getting into bed the door bell rang. *Who would be coming at this time of night?* Bulma thought a little irritated.

"Fine woman, I'll let myself in!"

"Oh Vegeta!" Bulma quickly ran down the stairs to see Vegeta sitting in the same arm chair as last time. "What are you doing here so late?"

"I told you I'd come and check to see how the progress is going."

"Oh that's right! Actually for the first day I think I did pretty well."

"Good. That's very good." Vegeta said as his eyes began to slowly wander from Bulma's face. She was wearing a pink (A/N: Yuk!), short, silk teddy.

"VE-GE-TA! You pervert!" Bulma screamed then slapped Vegeta without thinking. Bulma gasped. "Oh Vegeta I am soo sorry." Vegeta's face began to get redder every second with anger. Vegeta darted straight up grabbing Bulma's wrists and getting dangerously close to her face.

*Damn bitch!* "Woman if you *ever* strike me again I swear you will never live to see another day." He whispered in a gruff voice.

"Vegeta I'm sorry." Bulma said as tears started to stream down her face. "You're hurting me." She whispered. With hearing that Vegeta immediately let go of Bulma's wrists. "Thank you." Bulma whispered again while rubbing her wrists. Looking into Vegeta's cold ebony eyes he had a hint of worry in them. He had hurt her. And now that Vegeta had hurt Bulma he had to get out of there. He couldn't stand to see her cry.

"Vegeta, Sweetie, wait! Come back!" Bulma pleaded.

"I hurt you."

"Not bad, please stay." Bulma pleaded even more, walking toward Vegeta who had gotten to the door.

"Bulma I . . . NO! I have to go!" Vegeta left Bulma as she then began to cry on the floor.

"Bulma! Bulma! Bulma! Is it true?! Is it true?! Is it true?!" Leash yelled as she ran down the hall to Bulma's office, Wendy right behind her.

"Is what true sweetie?" Bulma asked the excited Leash.

"First of all are you really helping Veggie-chan kill his father?!"

"Shhh, Leash, now how did you know that?"

"Veggie-chan told me. And what happened last night? I heard you hit Veggie- chan, why?"

"Alicia! I . . . how . . ."

"I have my ways."

"I don't know *why* I hit him. It was a reaction. He was looking at me and I hit him without thinking. But hen he hurt me. I don't think he intended to . . ." Bulma trailed off.

"It's ok Bulma-chan. Come on Wendy we got work to do. Bye Bulma-chan."

"Really? What kind of work?"

"The same kind of work we do every day Wendy." Leash said irritated. She had to get this girl some brains. What a total blonde! Bulma giggled a little as the two children ran off.

"Vegeta how could you?! Why did you even come back after last night?! You even told Alicia?!"

"What?! Women what the hell are you talking about? I did *not* tell her!"

"Then how does she know?"

"I don't know. It's a witch thing I guess."

Bulma took a deep breath. "Ok, didn't you say you had to tell me something?" (A/N: Wow Vegeta sure always has a lot to tell her huh?)

"Oh yes, I have some bad news." Vegeta said sitting down and gesturing for Bulma to sit as well.

"What is it Vegeta?" Bulma asked worried.

"I have to go on a purging mission. It won't be long, about 6 months or so but . . ."

"What?"

"I want you to come with me. Finish that poison your making or what ever it is on the ship. If someone found out they'd kill you! Please . . . come with me." (A/N: Yeah I know Veggie a little ooc but I don't care! This is my fic and I'll do what I want with it!)

"But Vegeta . . . Please don't look at me like that. Alright fine, I'll come."

"Thank you Little One." Vegeta said not realizing what he had till it was too late. Bulma though hadn't noticed. She was too excited.

"Hey, Veggie-chan, when are we leaving?" Bulma asked.

"Tomorrow." Bulma sweat dropped.

"Tomorrow?!" Bulma yelled getting up. "I still have to pack, and tell my friends, and . . ."Bulma kept on rambling.

"Woman. Woman! BUL-MA! Shut the hell up for once." Bulma immediately stopped. "It's ok, I'll handle those things. I'll send some servants later to help back and Angel already knows about the mission."

"Angel?"

Vegeta sighed. "Yes, Leash calls me Veggie-chan and I call her Angel. Is that ok with you?"

"Yes Vegeta I think it's very sweet. Good night my sweet Prince." Bulma said then gave Vegeta a chaste kiss and started her way up the stairs.

"Good night Little One." Vegeta then walked out the door back to his quarters.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

That was a pretty long chapter if you ask me. It's one of my longest any way. I do have one imported thing to say. I have decided to do a mailing list. So if any one wants to know when I up date just give me a call.

Vegeta: In order for them to give you a call they would have to know your phone number.

PWA: I knew that. You know what I mean though. Just tell me in a review or email me. My email address is . . . wait you could just go to my bio for that. Any way that's it for now. Just don't forget to review.

Luv Alwayz
