Chapter Three, Things To Do

Vegeta stood in front of his desk, ripping papers here and there into little shreds. It had been quite some time since the doctor had left, so it was after dark. The pill bottles were sitting on the bedside table, untouched. He turned back to the woman on his bed, still resting. She had woken up once or twice, but Vegeta let her fall back into sleep. He walked up to the bed and dropped to his knee's, staring at her. He rested his chin on the edge of the mattress.

"Why have I done this?" Vegeta asked himself, still staring. "I should have just done what she instructed. I wouldn't be in this mess if I had." He admitted to himself. Just as quickly as he got on the floor, he was up again. He found himself leaning on the wall near Bulma, arms crossed over his chest, still staring.

Some time had passed before Vegeta had moved from his position on the wall. When Bulma finally showed any signs of awakening, Vegeta was sitting on the floor boredly. Bulma moved around just enough to be looking at Vegeta. Her eyes opened wide when she saw him.

Vegeta turned his head in her direction, not bothering to get up. "It's about time you awaken, girl." He growled roughly.

Bulma watched him with a weirded out look on her face. In the darkness, Vegeta couldn't tell what she was doing, but Bulma had sat up, ignoring the pangs of extrutiating pain. Vegeta stood up, paying no attention to Bulma, and he went to turn the lamp on.

Though she was a little nervous around Vegeta, she asked politly. "When can I leave?" Bulma had remembered what happened to her. The look in his eyes, such anger. But she had also noticed something else in his sharp, black eyes. Sadness. Bulma was a little surprised when the sadness showed. That's one of the reason she didn't say anything.

Vegeta looked at her, ignoring the question. "Stay." He commanded. He disappeared into his washroom for a moment, and then reappeared with a little cup of water. Vegeta sat at the edge of his bed, handing the water over to her. "Take these." He also handed her a couple of pills.

Bulma as a little uncertain of taking the medicine after what had happened. But, the stern look on his face told her to take it or she'd have a major anger issue with Vegeta. She flushed the pills down with some water and handed the cup back to him. "Why are you being so nice?"

The cup was thrown at the wall angrily. "Do you have to ask so many questions, girl?" Vegeta growled, stomping off to be on the other side of the room. Bulma kind of cowered as she was now afraid of this man. After a few moments of silence, she couldn't handle it. She crawled off of the bed and onto her knees, ignoring the pain.

"What's wrong?" Bulma asked him quietly from behind him. Vegeta turned around to find Bulma looking down at the floor, looking like a small child, with her hair falling into her eyes. He sighed and answered as gently as he could. "It's not you. Don't worry about it."

Vegeta had tried not to look at Bulma's special places. As far as he knew, all he had to do was make sure she wasn't hurt while bathing. Bulma had mentioned needing a bath, and she had a fit once she knew that Vegeta had to be there. She had needed help with the undressing, but she had her back to him, not revealing a thing.

At the moment, he was sitting in a chair, staring at the wall. Bulma made him promise not to look, which he was interested in anyway. He could hear her splash a little bit from behind him. "Are you almost done, wench?" He asked roughly.

"No." Bulma answered, dipping her head into the water. She pulled herself out from under the water and brought her wash cloth along her arms. "I know it hasn't been that eventful for you, but I personally need to wash my sins away."

Vegeta growled angrily. "I have things to do, girl. I'm not the one that got to sleep all night in my bed."

"I never asked you to stay." Bulma replied and stood up. "Towel."

Vegeta sighed with relief. He handed her the towel and stood up. Bulma had just wrapped the towel around her body when Vegeta faced her. "Now, hurry up and dress."

Bulma sighed. "Fine fine."

I hope you enjoyed it. .
