Since this story will be getting larger please email me at forever_short89@hotmail.com if you want to be in the mailing list that I will be sending each time I update a new chapter, please title it Fanfiction or Mailing list so I can see it. And I know that Vegeta is OOC right now by being all light and not moody, so I'm going to fix that.

Castle

~@~ Bulma ~@~
Bulma lay down in bed looking up at the ceiling. *I had a wonderful night, and a lovely date* pouting she turned to her side. "So why can't I sleep?" she asked out loud. Feeling restless she turned to her other side and stared blankly. *I can't take this anymore!* the thought went through her head a couple hundred time. Getting frustrated of her fruitless sleep she swung her feet over to the side of the large bed. She walked over to the lights and flipped them on. A deep groan came from her tired body as she walked back to her bed. Throwing herself on the bed she whispered into the pillow she held on her face 'Music'. Her room computers were activated with her word as they turned on to a station. A song started as Bulma kept on shoving her head into her pillow. As she recognized the song she took her head from the pillow and said "Louder." And as the booming song began she put her head back into the pillow.
Everywhere
=>
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone

~@~ Vegeta ~@~

Closing his eyes unsuccessfully he tried again to get some sleep. *I need drugs* Grabbing his pillow he threw it across his cluttered room as he angrily said, "But instead I have to sleep without its help!" He really didn't know why he was so fuming mad, but it was just making him angrier not knowing why he was. Realizing that he wouldn't get any sleep any time soon, he jumped from his bed. He started stretching as he felt the boundless energy surge through him. After stretching he opened his large windows and jumped out from the seven-story window. Feeling him being taken by gravity he let himself fall instead of flying away. He stretched his arms out wide as he quickly passed through all the lower levels. He opened his eyes and saw that the ground was rushing up at him. Extending his arms forward to meet the ground he pushed off a second after landing throwing him into a fast summersault. Landing on the ground, he burst off into a high-speed run.

When Vegeta rounded the Briefs lot for the fifth time he decided to head back for the forest and castle. As he neared his window, which was pretty close to Bulma's, he noticed something in the gardens. Slowing down he came to a walk. He had heard some noises and people by the place below her balcony. He heard a slight whisper say, "Fucking get out of the way." The two figures both glanced up as they heard a sound by Bulma's window. Bringing his voice down lower, "Shit, she's coming, hide. Don't let the bitch see us and figure out the plan." Still looking up at the window where a lone figure neared it. "Get the orchestra ready and take the hover cars and weapons through the back way." One of the dark shapes retreated to the black forest behind him. Vegeta looked upwards and saw Bulma open her balcony window. *Hmm, might as well sit here and see what this "lover" has to do.* Moving around cautiously he placed himself closer to the action to get a better view.

~@~ Bulma ~@~
Bulma silently opened the latch that held her balcony windows closed. She had come to investigate when she heard a tapping on the glass doors. As she opened the double doors she curiously peered down into the darkened gardens. She heard a voice cut through the night, "My beautiful princess, you look even more like an angle in this gloomy night. She smiled when she recognized her Baron's voice *Wait, no, he is my loving baron* Feeling possessive she called out, "Why do you come here in the shadowed gardens my baron." She saw her baron come into the light. When he came into her view he kneeled down and said, "I dare not carry a conversation over this noiseless night." Looking around he added, "But instead…" He swooped his hands back and dissolved into the darkness and heartfully said, "Oyasumi". Confused Bulma furrowed her eyebrows and said, "What…" But she was cut off when a low melody transformed the silent night into magic.
Moonlight Serenade
=>
I stand at your gate and the song that I sing is of moonlight.
I stand and I wait for the touch of your hand in the June night.
The roses are sighing a Moonlight Serenade.
The stars are aglow and tonight how their light sets me dreaming.
My love, do you know that your eyes are like stars brightly beaming?
I bring you and sing you a Moonlight Serenade.
Let us stray till break of day
in love's valley of dreams.
Just you and I, a summer sky,
a heavenly breeze kissing the trees.

So don't let me wait, come to me tenderly in the June night.
I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight,
a love song, my darling, a Moonlight Serenade

Bulma leaned against her hands as her elbows rested on the balcony railing. She let out a heavy sigh as the last romantic notes disappeared.

~@~ Vegeta ~@~
Vegeta cursed himself as he noticed that he was smiling a sort of sad smile. *Why do you show emotion?* Shaking his head he got up from the bushes he was hiding in and gaged at the huge display of motion that he was sensing from Bulma. *The wench is blind.* Taking off into the sky he headed upward towards his room making sure that Bulma didn't see him. When he entered into his room he spat out, "I cannot continue to live in such filth." Standing on the windowsill he opened up his palms. *These fools will just have to buy me new clothes.* He shot off small beams around his room demolishing all the filth and dirty clothes into a large dust cloud. He smirked when the fumed cloud vanished leaving a starch and empty room. He saw that his room walls were lined with steel. "Why?" his smirk turned evil, "Don't they trust me?" *This is better* he thought when he glanced around the room. The room had taken on a new personality when all the soft carpet and colored walls were cleaned off. *I wonder why I've never done this before.* Settling down in the center of the bleak and lifeless room he crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and started towards a deep meditation.

~@~ Bulma ~@~
A loud knock broke Bulma's peaceful sleep. Hoping it would go away, she buried deeper into her mound of pillows, blankets, and comforters. When the constant rapping at the door stopped Bulma thought she could go back to her wonderful dreams. She fell deeper and deeper into sleeps hold. Then, suddenly a heavy thumping came through her door. She heard, "Ibiki Kaibutsu get you lazy ass of the bed. Bulma made a giant groan as she realized that Chi-Chi was outside her door. "The guards have been knocking on that dang door of yours for an hour already." Pausing for an answer, "Fine I'm coming in." Bulma ignored her comment and kept herself buried under the heavy bed items. When she heard the loud crash of her door hit the ground she knew something was defiantly wrong. Digging towards fresh air and light she looked over her sea of blankets at the crazed woman that stood on her doorway. "I told you to get your lazy butt off the bed, but you wouldn't listen so I let myself in." Chi-Chi said putting her hands on her hips glaring at the awoken princess. "I wouldn't have done so if anything wasn't wrong now would I?" she answered Bulma's mad features. Bulma rubbed her head and asked, "So what's wrong, or did you just want to mess with me?" Rolling her eyes Chi-Chi countered, "Well I thought you would want to know that since you're the only royal blood here today since your father and mother went to the annual RPA ball. And they left you a note explaining some things to do in their absence seeing as that you have no date to attend with." Bulma stomach turned as she thought of being stuck in the castle for however long her parents attended the Royal Planet Alliances ball. "As for breaking your door done, the kingdom is turning to ruin with unattended matters waiting for you to sign and agree." Chi-Chi said breaking of her line of thoughts. Handing Bulma an envelope with her fathers seal Chi-Chi and the rest of the guards left.

She broke open the seal and unfolded the note and read:
My daughter, Princess Bulma,
As of your rank you are to be running the kingdom for our absence at the ball. We will be gone for about 25 days for the time of the ball and length of the trip. We ask for you to be a responsible ruler in our leave. Your mother and I wish for you to leave your childish acts for the time being. As I say this all formal and nonformal activities that you had scheduled with baron Yamcha have been cancelled and his appearance will be met and shunned of the castle for the 25 days we are away. The guards have been informed of your schedule and while contact us when they have noticed your not there. You are to stay at the castle at all times and address certain appointments at a later day if they are not to your knowledge to answer. We will miss you and we hope for a reliable ruler out of you. There will be another letter in this envelope relating to the kingdom's activities and your duties as a sub-ruler.
Your father,
King Briefs

Bulma gasped and read the part again, "All formal and nonformal activities that you had scheduled with baron Yamcha have been cancelled and his appearance will be met and shunned of the castle for the 25 days we are away." She angrily scratched her head as she pondered of her 25 days stuck in the castle. *There will be no one to have company with except Chi-Chi who works throughout the day and castle, and then there's Vegeta.* She stopped and seriously thought of spending the day with him, *Hah, there's more emotion in a tree. Well, it's either him or a very lonely day with the nontalkative guards and furniture.

~@~ Vegeta ~@~
Vegeta wiped his soaking forehead and leaned against a tree. He had been working out endlessly for the past few days when he realized that the guards have strict orders not to let anyone in or out of the Briefs whole estate. He had even tried to escape but was caught by the patrolling guards posted around the castle and out of the property. *If that screeching banshee was more responsible I would be able to go to town, but since she's to careless and with that sneaky baron around the guards are on full alert* He got up to resume his training. Punching at metal bots that used to be old guard models before the Briefs got real people. The bots held their arms up to swing at him and to shoot minor metal blasts. *Argg, deflecting another bullet, these damn things hurt.* Shooting a thin Ki blast at one of the robots neck breaking it off entirely but leaving the robot still attacking. Swinging in and out through the mess of crumpled metal arms from all his blocking. Shooting up into the air he waited for the bots to follow suit. Just as he predicted half of the machines stayed behind with their arms in the air-shooting bullet after bullet in rapid succession at him. And the other half were chasing him eagerly. He had tried yesterday, the first day that he found the somewhat formidable robots (When attacking him all at one time), to throw some of the flying guards at the stream of bullets but they just easily bounced off.

Powering up to Super Saiyan-jin (Since there will be no Goku to compete with he has already gotten the rank of Super Saiyan when he killed his family.) he turned around and headed for the line of bullets. Not caring that the bullets tattered his clothing, since it didn't hurt him much, he powered up his hands by surrounding it with a force of Ki energy. Flying through their ranks he watched them all fall down. Putting his attention back to the flying bots he opened his palms and shot succession after succession of beams at them. He powered down and smirked as he saw the remaining bots hit the ground. *The machine repairmen will have a hard time with these machines.* Giving off his natural stance with his arms crossed he looked on as other robots came from the castle and got the remains of the metal scraps. All the while not knowing he was being watched.

~@~ Bulma ~@~
Bulma had taken a break from the long stack of work to glance down into the large fields for the horses. She was about to turn back when she heard loud explosion coming from the fields. Looking for the source of all the noise she saw Vegeta fighting some of the old guard machines. Not knowing why she didn't see her earlier inventions being blown to smithereens, all she saw was Vegeta. He was only wearing black fighting pants, a dark sash, and white gis. She marveled at his sweat-covered body. She noticed every little detail on his bronze skin. She watched as how his chest muscles heaved from the battle. She saw that the bullets made no difference to him as the rocketed off of him and hitting other things. She saw his sharp and angular hair mangled. She saw the remnants of his shirt. She looked at his unforgiving eyes and dry mouth. She stayed there the longest, just staring at his cracked dry mouth. She stared at his lean and hard body. She saw every curve of his muscles. And as she saw this she could see no imperfection or fat. She saw the well-structured body for quiet sometime. And her heart throbbed when he took a menacing pose with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face. Shaking from her dreamlike phase she corrected herself *No you love Yamcha, not some evil man from another planet. Even though Yamch is a bit chubby at the hips…* Looking at Vegeta's body again… *NO. You love Yamcha a very romantic Human* Emphasizing the word Human as she still stared at Vegeta as he walked into the castle. *Not this bronze monkey that has been forsaken from his planet.* Then in the back of her mind, *Then why do you have a hard time looking away?* She knew no answer to that as his figure disappeared from site. Muttering to herself, "Probably your need for Yamcha, or another man…" Her eyes glanced the room as her thoughts and the room went quiet. Looking up at the time she was shocked to see that she had spent an hour and a half just watching Vegeta. (She knew the exact time because she kept looking up at it when she did her work) *Well it is my break now so…*

Do you people (Respecting the different genders here) like ~@~ and me switching the Point of View from Bulma to Vegeta?? I'm only doing it so you can kind of see the connection the two share. Give me some feedback and I will consider the reasons you post for dis/liking it. Till then Sayonara!
