Well, here it is... the long awaited sequel! I just hope I can do the first fic justice with this one. That's something I'm a bit worried about. If you haven't read The Vow yet, go check it out first, or you won't understand a THING that happens in here.... Well, you might, but reading the first one first is generally the best way to go, wouldn't you agree? Thought so. This chap is SHORT! It's JUST the prologue though. I didn't want to go into the next part until the first chap. So, I apologize ahead of time. :)
Plugs for this chap:
Belle Sourire's fics: "Tale as old as Time" and "Matter of Pride" Both are AWESOME fics, by a TERRIFIC author. Not to mention she's a great friend too. :)
Crystalline Maxwell's fic: "Torn" Tis a Harry Potter ficcie, gots LOADS of OCs and such. Makes for a fun read. Not to mention she's probably my best friend in the world. :)
Sapphireangelofnighthotmail.com's fics "Old Ladies" and "Fallin"
MistyDea's fics "The Mystic" and "l'Amour Renouvele| or Renewed Love"
Kiseki's ficcies "legends" and "Love and War and demons"
Check those ficcies out! I put em there for a reason ya know! :) NO! Check this one out first goofy! :)
Disclaimer: I STILL don't own it, but if I EVER do, I'll make sure you're the first to know. :-D

The Vow: Broken Promises
Prologue
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Trunks... Bulma... I do this for you... and yes, even for you... Kakarot"
The pain cut through her like a knife. Agony wasn't strong enough a word to describe. Excruciating would almost cover it. Not quit though. To put it simply, she felt... empty. And that's when she realized. It was his pain she felt. And suddenly it stopped. Bulma fell to the ground, her body worn out from the pain and anguish. Then a terrible thought crossed her mind. His pain was gone.... and so was he...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bulma sat straight up in bed, the sweat pouring down her now-drenched forehead. She brought her hand up to her heart, astonished at just how fast it was beating. With a final sob, she glanced at the man next to her. His endless black eyes stared up at her intently, searching her deep blue ones for answers.
"The dream again?" Vegeta questioned. His voice wasn't gentle, Vegeta was NEVER gentle. But, it didn't hold the normal ice that he was known for.
Bulma merely nodded, before curling herself into his side. With a contented sigh, she laid an arm across his chiseled chest, and he in turn pulled her small body close to his. He ran a hand across her back, still awkward with the affection she showed him. After all, he'd been a cold blooded killer for most of his life, and while the last seven years had changed him, nothing could ever erase the permanent scars that had been etched into his mind.
"Vegeta? You won't leave me... will you?" She asked suddenly.
"Damnit woman. I've put up with you this long, what makes you think I'd leave now?" His gruff voice replied. She seemed to accept his answer, however, and snuggled in closer to him, completely oblivious to the content smirk on the face of her mate.
Mate... I could say Husband... but Vegeta had never felt an actual wedding was necessary, and Bulma had never pressed him on the matter. Being bonded ran deeper than wedding vows ever could. Besides, she had to most important vow in the world already. Everything else just seemed to pale in comparison.
She drifted off to sleep finally, a contented smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. She didn't get much peace though, mostly because of her graphic, and very painful dream of the fall of the Great Saiyan Prince....

Short, yes, I know... BUT that was just the Prologue. *shrugs* What can I say? I'm actually in the middle of writing a chap for my other fic "Everyone Says I love you" but, inspiration struck, so I HAD to get this out. PLEASE review guys. You know the deal... I write faster if I get reviews. And once again, sorry for the length, but consider this a teaser to get me back into the flow of things. Love ya!!
