Chapter Six: Stage Three
"You heard me."
"Mated? But... the Saiyajin were dead!"
Vejiita snorted. "I know."
"How could you have mated then?"
Vejiita growled. "None of your business," he hissed.
The King's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the female beside his son. "You mated a human!!"
Vejiita growled. "Yes."
"Vejiita, you know that is forbidden!"
"Father, our race was dead!"
"That is no-"
"Yes, it was! I did not know Vejiita-sei would return! I did not know that. I had settled on a planet, preparing for a damn battle, and I fucking mated!"
"Vejiita, the people will rebel against this. Damn it! How could you be so stupid!?"
Vejiita growled. "Stupidity wasn't the problem. Drop it."
"And you brought her with you!"
"I did."
"Vejiita, that is stupid. You will have to kill her and take another mate."
"I cannot," Vejiita growled angrily.
"Cannot?"
"That is what I said."
"Why not?" the King asked suspiciously.
"Fuck, Father. Why do you think I cannot? You have been correct at guessing so far."
"You have bonded her," he said, and Vejiita knew he was hoping he was wrong.
"Yes."
"Damn it, brat! How could you bond!? It is not right, it is a fucking weakness, it is-"
"Fuck, I know that! I could not fucking help it and you know it. Just lay off."
The King scowled. "Fine. When you get here, no one must know of your... problem." Vejiita growled. "She is just a technician."
"I had planned on that," Vejiita snarled. 'Problem, my tail! Damn idiot. He is acting like I have a bad habit that needs breaking. Moron.'
"Good. You and I will have to have a long talk," the King said irritably. "A very long talk." The King looked over his son's mate, a scowl on his face. "Well, at least she is pretty. You have not lost all your senses." He looked back at his son. "Get your tail here as fast as you can, Vejiita."
Vejiita growled suddenly and cursed. "Fine." He clicked off the communication and cursed again. "Kuso!"
"Vejiita, what is it?"
"Not only does my father know of my weakness in bonding to you," he snarled. "But he will soon find out my other disgrace."
"That is?"
"I do not have my tail anymore."
Buruma suddenly giggled.
Vejiita snarled and turned to her. "It is not humorous! A Saiyajin's tail is very important. Very important. Those that lose their tails usually commit suicide, Onna, rather than live with the disgrace."
She smiled at the furious Saiyajin. "I'm not laughing about that, Vejiita. I'm laughing because that problem is easily fixed."
His eyebrow twitched slightly in disbelief. "Oh, really?"
She smirked. "Of course. I could get your tail back." Then she had the audacity to leave him alone with that little bombshell.
He gaped at the door in complete astonishment before running after the infuriating female. "Onna!" he roared.
He heard a giggle slightly ahead of him and speed up, disappearing and reappearing in front of the running female who slammed into his chest quite hard. She gasped and glanced up, glowing at him. "That wasn't fair!"
He growled and took a hold of her shoulders. "Onna, are you fucking serious?"
"About your tail? Hell yes."
He stared at her silently for a moment. "Then why the hell did you not say something sooner?!" he exploded.
She blushed. "Well, it's kind of complicated. See, I know you can control your Oozaru form, but the others can't. I was worried that if I grew your tail back, they'd want theirs back, too. Not to mention I was a bit... nervous about giving you that much power again, in case you still wanted to destroy us"
He growled. "How long have you had this knowledge?"
She looked away. "About since you came here."
He blinked. "What?"
"When you first came here," she began softly, looking down at her feet nervously, "you had a nightmare. Remember?"
He grunted.
"Well, I came into the room and you just woke up, grasping for your tail. The look on your face when you couldn't find it was devastating, Vejiita. It hurt me, seeing you like that. You blew up at me, of course, and I left. But I went into my lab and I figured out a way to stimulate full healing of Saiyajin tails. It was really quite simple. Your tails grow back normally if something happens to trigger it. All you need to do is... well, trigger it. I created a serum that I can inject that will cause your tail to spontaneously grow back."
"Give it to me," he demanded.
She sighed and pulled away from the angry Saiyajin. "Fine. You're lucky I brought my lab with me, jackass," she hissed and stomped away.
Vejiita stared after her, his brow furrowed a bit in confusion. When she came back, he glanced into her eyes, suddenly a bit worried. She was very, very angry. With him. He sighed. He would never understand her.
"Give me your arm," she snapped.
He did, silently, and watched as she uncapped a needle, rubbed his arm with an alcohol soaked cloth, and stuck it into his upper arm. He felt the small prick, suddenly feeling the urge to snicker. Kakarotto was scared of those little things. Coward that he was. When the vial was empty, she retracted the needle, placing a cotton ball on the small wound.
She looked into his eyes. "It's going to hurt."
He snorted. "I can handle pain, Onna. It is nothing for a Saiyajin-" He suddenly gasped in surprise and pain, falling onto his knees. Buruma's anger immediately faded and she knelt beside him. His hand found its way to her leg and she nearly whimpered as his grip tightened painfully. His eyes were closed and his breathing carefully regulated. He looked almost calm, except for the death grip on her thigh.
After a long minute or two, his eyes finally opened and a small gasp escaped his lips. He smirked faintly and Buruma felt something brush her other leg, gaping as the tail swatted back and forth, almost irritably. She smiled. "Good. It worked. Can you let go of my leg now?"
He blinked and released his hand, looking at it oddly, as if he didn't realize he had clutched onto her. She sighed in relief. "I'm going to definitely bruise from that one," she whispered, rubbing the sore spot. "I keep forgetting your strength sometimes."
He grunted, feeling guilt well up inside of him, but ruthlessly squished it. His eyes moved to his tail and she could see the faint smirk turn a little brighter. He twitched it experimentally and then wrapped it loosely around his waist. "Thank you," he mumbled and then he disappeared down the hall.
She blinked. "Well, at least he said thank you..." For once.
~~~
Buruma made a soft grunt as she lifted herself from the kitchen table. She snapped her laptop closed and sighed. She was bored, damn it. Bored and of all things, lonely. Vejiita had disappeared again. Man, the guy was moodier than a woman PMS-ing. She wanted to go home. She was suddenly reminded of her trip to Namek, where she was left all alone for days.
She blinked suddenly and rushed out of the small kitchen, heading down the short hallway to the bridge. She stepped onto it, glancing around, glad, for once, that Vejiita wasn't there. She quickly walked over to the communicator and pressed a few buttons, moved the frequency, and waited. Moments later, her father appeared on the screen. He blinked and then smiled. "Hey, Buruma. What's up?"
"Not much, Daddy," she said softly.
Her father suddenly frowned and looked at her searchingly. "You haven't called me Daddy in years. What's wrong?"
She smiled. "Just a bit lonely and homesick, I think."
"How? You've got Vejiita there."
Buruma rolled her eyes. "We have a gravity room on this thing, Daddy. Where do you think he spends all of his time? I haven't seen him since shortly after he contacted Earth, two days ago."
"Oh. Well, what did you need, dear?"
"Can you call Son-kun? And Chichi?"
The old man nodded. "Sure, Princess. Be right back."
She nodded and her father disappeared. While she waited, she couldn't help but turn her mind back to the moody Saiyajin she had the dubious pleasure of being mated to. Her nightmares hadn't come the last two nights. She wasn't sure if that was because he wasn't having them, or he wasn't sleeping. He was a peculiar man, she had learned quickly. The passion he held inside of him clashed strongly with his indifferent attitude. He felt so strongly about everything. She just hoped she felt as strongly about her.
"Heya, Buruma!" Goku exclaimed happily. Chichi smiled from beside the large warrior.
"Hey, you two. What's going on?"
"Training, the usual. Oh, and King Kai contacted me yesterday and told me that the Saiyajin elites headed this way suddenly turned around. Except for one. Nappa. He refused to return, I guess."
Buruma shrugged. "He'll be easy for you guys."
"You know it."
Buruma rolled her eyes. "Always confident."
Chichi suddenly leaned closer to the screen. "What's wrong?"
Buruma smiled sheepishly. "That obvious?"
"As obvious as the bite mark on your neck."
She gasped and covered it with her hand quickly. "Damn, Chichi, you don't miss much do you?"
"You and Vejiita?"
Buruma shrugged. "Well, sort of. I don't really want to talk about it, okay?"
"Buruma-"
"No. Not now. It's something that doesn't really matter, you know? Just a passion kind of thing. Happened once, not happening again." She winced inwardly at lying to her friends. But she knew Vejiita did not want to have it common knowledge that they were bonded right then.
"Did he hurt you?" Chichi asked suddenly.
Buruma gaped at her, saved, thankfully, but her best friend. "Now, Chichi, I doubt Vejiita would stoop so low as to hurt Buruma like that. He's gruff and rude and all, but he isn't going to hurt her."
"How can you know? He's trying to kill you all the time," his wife pointed out immediately.
"Well," he said, putting a hand behind his head, the Son grin on his face. "That's because I'm his rival and I can take it. Buruma's only a human girl, Chichi."
Buruma rolled her eyes. "Guys? That's not what I wanted to talk about. I could care less about Vejiita right now. He's back to ignoring me and Kami, I'm lonely!"
Goku grinned. "How about I teleport there and we can talk?"
Buruma suddenly grinned. "Will you?"
"Be there in a flash!" he exclaimed, placing two fingers on his forehead and he and Chichi vanished from the screen in front of her, only to reappear right behind her. She shrieked and swung around startled. She then smiled widely and glomped her two friends quickly before letting them go.
Vejiita suddenly stormed onto the bridge, glowing like a light bulb, looking for all the world like he was ready to do battle. When he saw his rival and Chichi, he snarled. "What the fuck are you two doing here?"
Goku smiled. "Heya, Vejiita. Buruma called us and seemed a bit down. Thought I'd bring Chichi and help cheer her up. How's the training?"
"Why did she scream?" he asked gruffly, looking Buruma over. "Did you startle the fool female again?"
Goku nodded sheepishly. "Yeah."
He snorted, and then disappeared the way he had come. Buruma shrugged and returned to hugging her friends. "Thanks, guys."
"He's charming today," Chichi drawled.
"Yeah, as always."
Goku suddenly turned serious. "Would you mind if I went to spar with Vejiita for a little bit?"
Buruma sighed but shook her head. "Go ahead. If he'll let you. He's having this 'I want to be alone' phase."
He nodded. "Thanks," he said softly, exiting the room fast.
Both women stared after the unusually serious Saiyajin.
~~~
Vejiita snarled as he felt his rival's ki appear outside the gravity chamber's door. When it opened, the younger Saiyajin was face with a furiously scowling Saiyajin no Ouji, his arms crossed over his very muscular chest, his feet inches apart. He was wearing nothing but a pair of black spandex and a pair of white tennis shoes.
"Vejiita."
"Kakarotto."
"What did you do to Buruma?"
Vejiita blinked. Twice. "What? I did nothing to the loud female!"
"Then why is she so depressed, Vejiita? She's miserable. Absolutely miserable. I can feel it in her ki, damn it!"
He blinked again and quickly felt out the familiar ki. As familiar as his own now. He scowled. The idiot. "She is a little down, but she is not completely miserable, idiot."
"Her ki is dark!"
Vejiita snorted. "That is not because she is depressed, Kakarotto."
"Then why is it?"
"What does my ki feel like?"
Goku started in surprise. "What?"
"Feel my ki, then feel hers," Vejiita ordered irritably.
Goku rolled his eyes and did as he was told, his eyes widening in shock. "They're almost the same now! Yours isn't so dark, hers is darker. What the hell?"
"She and I are one now, moron."
"That's bizarre."
"Not really."
"How the hell?"
"The Bond. Stage three to be exact."
"Bond? Stage three?"
"That is what I said."
"Huh?"
"Never mind. It is not your concern. Go away. She is perfectly fine."
"But, she is still depressed, Vejiita. Maybe you should try to be nice to her or something."
Vejiita snorted. "Like that will ever happen. Leave," he ordered gruffly, turning away from his rival.
"Part of the reason I came in here is to spar."
"I do not wish to. Get out."
"Grumpy? Maybe you should get laid or something," Goku told him happily.
Vejiita choked and whirled around to face the Saiyajin. "What?!"
"Well, I'm always irritable if I haven't had sex in a while."
"Idiot, I am obviously not like you."
"Well, you should try it once or something."
Vejiita rolled his eyes. "I am counting to three, idiot. Then you die. Get out!"
"Vejiita-"
"One."
"I just want to-"
"Two."
"Listen-"
"Three."
"Alright! I'm going!" Goku exclaimed disappearing as Vejiita had begun to power up. Vejiita snarled and floated into the air, folding his legs under him. He would never admit it, but his rival had been right about something. He should pay a bit more attention to his new mate. Soon, he'll begin to feel her emotions as if they were his own, and her pain would be his. Not that he didn't feel a bit guilty because she was upset. He did, and he wouldn't admit that either, but what the hell did he know about making someone happy? He didn't even know how to make *himself* happy. He cursed his mate and himself quickly before pushing it all from his mind. He'd speak to her after those idiots left, he decided. He then proceeded to meditate.
