Dangerous Love

Chapter One: Vegeta's Struggle
"Ha! I'm gonna beat you this time Kakarot!" Vegeta shot a ki blast at Goku, but Goku got out of the way of the blast. "Damn!" Goku teleported behind Vegeta and punched him to the ground. Vegeta got up as quick as he fell. "Your gonna need more than that to beat me Kakarot!" "That was only a warm up", Goku said with a broad grin. Vegeta's face fell serious, than he put his hands together to shoot a ki blast at Goku. When Vegeta started saving energy to do his blast, he got a strike of pain through his heart. "Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!"
Vegeta howled loudly, then he fell to the ground. "Vegeta!!!!!!!" Goku yelped. Goku rushed over to the spot were the Saiyan prince was laying, and kneeled down beside him. "What's wrong Vegeta?? Wha-what happened??" Goku asked aghast. "It's my heart!!" Vegeta screamed in pain. Goku got scared, picked up Vegeta, and used Instant Transmission to go to Capsule Corp. Goku appeared within Capsule Corp., and saw Bulma at her desk reviewing some papers.
Bulma felt Goku's presence behind her, so she turned around and gawked at what she saw. "Goku what's wrong with Vegeta!?" Bulma asked furiously. "Something's attacking his heart!" Goku said panicked. Bulma's face turned as white as a ghost... Was this a repeat in history? Goku placed Vegeta on a bed, and waited for Bulma to say something. "Vegeta can you hear me?" Bulma said as she started to cry. "Bulma, my wife." "Yes Vegeta?" "I don't know if I'm gonna make it…" "Don't say that Vegeta!" Bulma said as tears streamed down her face. "You will be fine, you're the prince of all saiyan's god damn-it!" Bulma shouted. Vegeta went to go say something, but just passed out. "OH MY GOD! HE DIED!!!!!" Bulma screamed on top of her lungs, almost collapsing. Goku still felt Vegeta's life force, and noticed that it was diminishing. "He didn't die Bulma, he just passed out." "Oh…" Bulma said faintly, feeling a bit stupid.
That Night….
"Goku, is it alright if you can stay over my house tonight?" Bulma asked curiously. "Sure Bulma… just let me call Chi Chi and tell her that I'm staying over." "Okay." Bulma said. Goku picked up the phone and called home. "Chi Chi, I'm going to be staying over Bulma's tonight, she needs someone around after what happened to Vegeta today." "Yeah, I understand Goku… tell Bulma to get some sleep, the poor woman must be tired." Said Chi Chi "Okay, I will Chi Chi." "Thank you Goku, you better be off to bed now too." "Yeah... I know, thanks Chi." "Goodnight Goku, I'll see you tomorrow." "Bye." Goku said, than hung the phone up.
"Okay, Chi Chi is fine with me staying over. She said for you to get some sleep." "Okay, I will." Bulma said. " So where will I be staying tonight?" Goku said with a smile. "You can stay in the guest room tonight, I made it up for you." "Thanks Bulma, that was nice of you, considering what happened today." "Heh… You're welcome, just get some sleep." "Yeah…" Goku said. The room fell silent for a few moments, than Bulma spoke up. "Goku?" "Yeah?" Goku said curiously. "Thank you so much for staying with me today, I really needed you here." "Don't worry about it. That's what friends are for, right?" Goku said, and put on a comforting smile. "Yeah…"

The next morning the first thing Bulma did was check on Vegeta. Bulma walked up to the bed where Vegeta was laying, and sat down on a chair beside the bed. "Hey Vegeta, can you hear me?" Vegeta just moaned. "Heh, at least I know you're still alive." Bulma said with a faint smile. "Bulma?" Vegeta croaked softly. "Vegeta?? How are you feeling today?" "Pain, it's not like I haven't felt his before." Vegeta said, letting his ego get the best of him. "Vegeta… you gotta pull through this. I know you can, you just need your rest." Bulma said reassuringly. "Bulma, I want you to do one thing for me." Vegeta said slowly. "What is that Vegeta?" Vegeta paused. " I want you to get me Kakarot." Bulma looked at Vegeta oddly, lets face it… Vegeta's favorite person was definitely not Goku. "Okay Vegeta, I'll get him for you." Bulma picked herself up, and made her way into the guest room to wake Goku up.
Bulma walked up to the bed that Goku was lying on, and stood in front of it. "Goku, wake up." Bulma said in a sweet low voice. "Uhh, is that you Bulma?" Goku said in a groggy voice. "Yes, it's me… I wanted to tell you that Vegeta requested you're presence." Goku jumped to his feet. "Vegeta wants to talk to me?" "Yes. He said he wanted me to get you up so he can talk to you." Bulma finished. "That's odd, since when does Vegeta want to talk to me… unless it's that he wants to fight me, or put me down." Goku said befuddled. "Well I was surprised too when I heard him say that, but let's not keep him waiting." "Yeah, you're right. Let's get going." Goku said. Goku paused for second, and said, "Um, let me go to the bathroom first." Bulma looked down, and blushed. "Go ahead…"
After Goku went to the bathroom, both him and Bulma walked to the room Vegeta was in. They entered the room, and sat beside Vegeta's bed. "Bulma, I want to talk privately to Kakarot for a little bit." Vegeta said. Bulma was dumfounded. She couldn't help but wonder what Vegeta wanted to talk to Goku about. "Okay Vegeta, I'll go." Bulma walked out of the room, and closed the door behind her. "So… Bulma told me that you wanted to talk to me Vegeta?" "Yes… I do want to talk to you." Vegeta said abruptly.
Goku leaned in closer to talk to Vegeta. "Okay Vegeta, please go on then." Goku said as he looked at Vegeta's face. " Kakarot, what I wanted to tell you was… if anything should happen to me, and I don't make it…I want you to watch over Bulma. She's a strong woman indeed, and if I was a woman I would probably be like her, but she's not as strong as she portrays." Vegeta finished. Goku just looked at Vegeta and listened carefully to what he was telling him. "Now I wouldn't ever of asked you something like this before, but Bulma means a lot to me, I want her to have someone to comfort her." Vegeta said. Goku took a moment to collect himself, and said. "Vegeta, I'd gladly do that for you, I know you always thought that I was trying to always be better than you… but I always looked up to you, because no matter what… you'd never give up. I just thought you should know that." Goku finished, then smiled. For the first time the two saiyan's weren't at each other throats, and they understood each other for once, and only once.

After the talk with Vegeta, Goku left him for his sleep and went out to the kitchen to talk with Bulma. "So Goku, what did Vegeta wanna talk to you about?" "Oh, nothing. It's just something between me and him." Goku said nonchalantly. Bulma frowned, than stared at Goku for a minute. "Well fine, if your not gonna tell me, then I guess I'll back off of you." Goku laughed at Bulma, and sat down at the kictchen table. "I bet your hungry Goku, would you like something to eat for breakfast?" Goku smiled. "Sure, you just read my mind!" Bulma returned a smile back at him, and made eggs for the both of them. Once the eggs where done the two sat at the table, and talked while they ate.

"Hey Bulma, where are the kids?" Goku said as he helped Bulma clean up the breakfast mess. "I sent them over to your house so they can play with Goten. I'm trying to keep their minds off their dad, you know?" "Yeah, that's probably the best thing to do right now." "Yeah, I thought so too." Bulma said. After Goku and Bulma finished cleaning up the mess that they made for breakfast, Goku made his way to the door. "Well Bulma, I'm gonna start heading home. Is there anything you need me for before I go?" "Yes, there is one thing." "Okay, what is it?" Goku said. "I wanna know if you can keep the kids for a little while, I don't want them home worrying about their father dieing, that would be terrible." "Yeah, I can do that, but won't you be lonely?" "I'll survive." Bulma shrugged. "Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow Bulma." Goku said with a smile. With that Goku walked outside, lifted himself in the air, and flew home.
Goku landed in front of his house, then walked in. "Goku! Thank GOODNESS you're here!" Chi Chi said sounding a bit flustered. "I've missed you, and I've had my hands full with the kids." She finished. "When is Bulma gonna be taking them back anyway?" Chi Chi asked. "She wants us to keep them here for a little while longer, she doesn't want them home worrying about their father." Goku said. "Oh… okay, I guess we could do that for her." Chi Chi said, and then sighed. "Anyway, how's Vegeta doing today?" Chi Chi asked. "He's doing a little better, he's monitord so if anything goes wrong, we know." "That's good, I hope he pulls through… he's too young to die. I remember when you had that attack on your heart, I was so worried." Goku smiled at Chi Chi, as she did to him. "I'm gonna go check on the kids." Goku said. "Okay." Chi Chi said, continuing her work.
Goku walked into Goten's room and he saw Trunks and Goten fighting. " Hey, hey, am I gonna have to break you two up?" Right when Goku said that, Goten Jumped onto him and said "Daddy!" "I missed you to Goten." Goku said with a smile. Trunks just watched the father and son and wished his father wasn't sick.
