The Vow: Broken Promises
Chapter 1:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Last time, On "The Vow: Broken Promises":
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....
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*Love, such a lonely place*~
"Vegeta! Breakfast!" The Saiyan no Ouji winced as Bulma's voice filled the gravity chamber. In one swift movement, he'd sent a ki blast hurtling toward the intercom system. Luckily, though, he turned around right as he did so, only to find that the ki blast was hurtling at HER instead.
With a shrill scream, she threw her arms up to shield her face, only to find herself pulled tightly against a sweaty, muscular chest.
"Woman! I could've killed you! I knew you were an idiot, but I thought you knew better than that!" Vegeta berated. "What were you doing in here, anyway? You know it's too dangerous for you!" The compact Saiyan screamed.
~*Nobody wants to be alone*~
"I.. I'm sorry, Vegeta! I didn't mean to.. I just wanted to bring you breakfast!" Bulma sobbed, her tears soaking her pale cheeks.
Vegeta rolled his eyes in frustration, before sweeping Bulma up into his arms, and carrying her (and though he would never admit it, gently) into the living room. "You make life too difficult, you know that?" He asked as he deposited her onto the couch. "I knew those anti gravity panels were a bad idea. Exactly how many times do I have to tell you not to go in there? But do you listen?" Of course not!" Vegeta continued his ranting for a few moments, before a soft voice cut him off.
"Vegeta... You realize you're starting to sound more and more like me everyday?" Bulma giggled.
~*To have the world but no one to share it with*~
"Woman, I'm mad enough at you right now to blast you.. this time, purposely." He shot back.
"Aww! Was Veggie worried about lil ol me?" She replied. She attempted her best to stifle her laughter when his face turned a bright red, but it proved to be a losing battle, and soon, she was practically rolling on the couch, a mixture of giggles, laughs and guffaws escaping her rosy lips.
"I wasn't worried! I was.. uh... afraid my food would get burned.. yeah..." He stuttered.
~*I'm so alone*~
"Right, Vegeta. Sometimes I don't know why I even bother caring." She remarked sadly, before somehow managing to pry his body from off of hers. "Your breakfast is in the kitchen, Vegeta. And I'll take out the anti-grav tiles today. I'm taking Trunks over to see Goten right now though, but I'll be back before lunch." She nipped his nose gently, and walked to the stairs.
"Trunks! If you're going, let's go! I've got other things to do today!" She called to the lavender haired Demi-Saiyan.
"Coming mom!" He yelled back, before sliding down the banister, and taking his place next to his mother.
~*I can't stand this feeling of being without you*~
"Vegeta.. be careful with your training, ok? I'll see you later."
And with a final "Goodbye Dad." from Trunks, the two left, leaving Vegeta behind to stare at where Bulma had been sitting.
"Damnit woman.." He growled, before relenting to his growling stomach.
~*Yes I'll do*~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I'm telling you, Chi. He acts like I don't even exist! Kami knows I love him more than anything... Well, except Trunks. But more than myself, definitely." Bulma said. She sighed sadly, before lying her head down to rest on the Son family's kitchen table.
"Bulma, don't be so hard on yourself. He must love you! I doubt he'd stay if he didn't." Chichi tried her best to soothe her upset friend.
~*Whatever it takes to prove I trully love you*~
"Maybe he stays because of his pride. Maybe he doesn't want to admit he failed at something. Even if it's something as simple as loving me." The blue haired woman remarked, a lone tear burning a fiery trail down her cheek.
"Oh Bulma! Don't say such things! He does love you! He has to! It's times like these I wish Goku were here." She gave Bulma's arm a reassuring squeeze, before slumping back in her chair.
"I miss him too, Chi. I wish he was here. Life always seemed so much better when he was around, you know? He had that attitude about him.. Like he could change the world..." Bulma started.
~*Don't let me go*~
"And then when he smiled, it made you think you could change it too..." The other woman finished.
"Yeah. If I ever see him again, remind ME to kill him, ok?" She told Chichi. Then, directed to the sky "You hear that, Son Goku? I need your help! But, where the hell are you? DEAD! You're the only one that could ever talk any sense into that man, and you know it!!"
Somewhere far above the earth, a dark haired man sat alone, watching down from the sky. He grinned a bit at his friends choice of wording. before one last cry fell upon his ears.
~*Let's stay together, forever and ever*~
"And wipe that damned grin off your face!"
And with that, Son Goku burst into a fit of laughter.
~*Can't sleep without you by my side, help me*~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sooo...Whatcha think? Good? Bad? Ugly? Lemme know! And don't yell at me because it's too short! If you'll remember, my chap's for The Vow were ALWAYS short! Lol, I know! Not an excuse.. But I'm really trying here! Lol, a girl's gotta sleep SOMETIME, ya know. ;-)
