Chapter 5 The Cold Hearted Never Prevail
The next day after Bulma's night with Vegeta she laid in bed fast asleep, when there was a knock on the door. Bulma opened her eyes and came face to face with Vegeta who was fast asleep. 'Bastard,' she said. She scooted out of his embrace and rolled out the bed falling straight on her butt. She grumbled and scooted towards the door. When she opened the door she was greeted by her friends. She smiled up at them and they smiled back. "Well we see you're getting around O.K.,'' 18 said. Bulma laughed. "Yeah I can't feel my legs, but my heart will never die,'' she said repeating the section of her Vegeta's mothers diary. 18 and ChiChi nodded. Then ChiChi began searching around the room. "Where is he?'' she asked. Bulma nodded her head over to the bed where Vegeta lie sleeping.
ChiChi was about to attack him when she felt something on her leg. She looked down to see Bulma shaking her head. "Don't ChiChi. He'll take his anger out on me,'' she said tears feeling her eyes. ChiChi sighed and nodded. She had never seen a human being treated so harshly. 18 bent down to Bulma's eye level and smiled. "Want me to put you in a chair?'' she asked. Bulma nodded. 18 bent down and lifted Bulma off the floor and carried her to a chair and sat her down. She then looked up to 18 and gestured for her to come closer. "I've been working on something that resembles a wheel chair until I can walk again,'' she whispered. 18 nodded then she told ChiChi who was really curious as to what they were talking about. Bulma stared at her friends as they talked, then she heard a groan from the bed. She turned away as Vegeta woke up and looked at her. "What the fuck are these harpies doing here?'' he asked. Bulma ignored him. He growled and stood wrapping a sheet around his waist. He was about to give her a piece of his mind when 18 stepped in. "You will not touch her, you did enough last night. I tried my best not to kill you, but the next time you, put your hands on her I will kill you,'' she threatened. Vegeta smirked and grabbed her neck. "NOOOO!!'' Bulma screamed. Vegeta ignored her and began to choke 18. "Those are big words coming from a sentimental whore like you, but before you could even lay a finger on me I would have you gutted and singed your insides very slowly,'' he growled.
Bulma watched with saddness as her friend struggled against Vegeta's iron grip. ChiChi had jumped on his back and was banging him on the head. She looked around the room and found Vegeta's mom's diary laying on the floor. She picked the hard cover book up and flung knocking Vegeta right in the neck making him drop 18. Bulma tensed as he turned towards her with an evil smirk. "So you want to be beat again, do you?'' he said making his way towards her. Bulma found a pair of scissors on the floor and picked them. (AN: Where's she's finding all this stuff I don't know.) She held them out in front of her. "You come any closer and I'll through these scissors,'' she said her voice cracking. Vegeta laughed out heartily at her attempt to do harm to him. "Do you really think you can harm me with those puny things?'' he asked. Bulma looked down towards the scissors and looked back up to see she was face to face with Vegeta. She gasped and backed into the chair. "Onna, I remember what you said last night. How you said the cold hearted never prevail? Well unlike most cold hearted people I will prevale,'' he said. Bulma's eyes widened. She looked past Vegeta and saw 18 and ChiChi both holding pans. Before Vegeta could turn all the way around 18 and ChiChi both hit him as hard as they could upside the head. Bulma sighed with relief as Vegeta fell to the floor unconscious. 18 and ChiChi stared at their friend. "Bulma we have to go, when he wakes up he won't be a happy camper,'' ChiChi said. Bulma looked down at Vegeta who had blood coming from one of his ears. When she heard him mumble something she nearly fell out the chair. "O.K., lets go. Chi can you get my clothing and supplies?'' she asked. ChiChi nodded and went into the closet.
Bulma looked up to 18 and smiled. "18 can you carry me?'' she asked. 18 nodded. "No problem. You're no trouble being carried,'' she said. ChiChi came running out of the closet with all of Bulma's supplies and capsuled them. Bulma was shocked. "Where did you get that capsule from?'' she asked. ChiChi smiled. "I had it from when I first came here. I have a whole case in my room,'' she said. Bulma placed her hand on her face thoughtfully and looked back up to her. "Chi, do you think we could get your capsules right now?'' she asked. ChiChi nodded. "Yeah, Kakarotts out training with Krillen. He won't be back for hours,'' she said. Bulma nodded and smirked. "Ok then lets GO!!'' she yelled and they were off.
After stopping at ChiChi's room to get the capsules they headed towards the gate. As they reached it they had to hide as two sayian guards walked by. Then they ran as fast as they could. 'This is it, I'm free,' she thought.
As they entered the forest ChiChi stopped and opened the case of capsules. "What are you doing?'' 18 asked. ChiChi took out two bracelets. "These are ki decreasers. They will hide your ki so not even Vegeta would be able to find us,'' she said with a wide smile and thumbs up. Bulma took a bracelet and eyed it. "How comes there's only two? What about you?'' she asked. ChiChi smiled. "Well, Kakarott showed me how to hide my ki, so I don't need one,'' she said shrugging. Bulma and 18 nodded and placed on their bracelets. Soon they were venturing deeper into the forest. They hadn't gone far when they reached a deeper darker part of the forest. "Should we go in?'' 18 asked. Bulma shrugged "I don't know. Maybe we should find somewhere else,'' she suggested. ChiChi placed her case down on top of a rock and opened it again. "Yes! I have it,'' she said. Bulma arched a fine eyebrow at her. "What do you have?'' she asked. ChiChi took out the capsule and uncapsulated it. As soon as the smoke cleared you could see a Capsule Corp. cottage. "Chi, you're a life saver,'' Bulma said. They walked into the house and looked around. There was loads of stuff they could survive on for at least a month or two. As if on queue Bulma, ChiChi, and 18 stomach's started to growl. "I'm hungry,'' Bulma said rubbing her stomach.
Back at the Palace.
Vegeta growled and sat up. "Ah, my head,'' he said rubbing his ears and the side of his head. When he looked around the room he could find no trace of Bulma. He stood up and walked into the bathroom. It was empty. "WOMAN!!" he yelled. No answer. 'I'll get that bitch.' he said. Since he knew he would find her, he went to train with Kakarott and Krillen.
1 week later.
It had been a week since Bulma, ChiChi, and 18 had first left the palace, and they were doing fine. "Hey ChiChi, guess what?'' Bulma said. "What?'' ChiChi said leaning out the kitchen door washing a pan. "I just got in contact with earth, and they said my mother and father are ok,but they are in critical condition. They've been that way since I left,'' she said. ChiChi smiled. "Did you find anything about my father?'' she asked. Bulma hung her head. "Yes I did. Chi he's…dead. The sayians that were left behind on earth killed him in battle,'' she said. ChiChi's eyes widened and she dropped the pan. "Daddy,'' she whispered as a single tear ran down her face. They were interrupted by the sound of something crashing outside. Bulma looked outside the window to see …Vegeta. He hadn't seen her face, but he was searching through the woods about a hundred yards away. "Chi, it's Vegeta!! He's right outside!!!'' Bulma bellowed her voice cracking. ChiChi ran to the window and sure enough Vegeta was outside. " We have to go now!!'' she yelled picking Bulma up. "18!! We have to go Vegeta's here!!'' ChiChi yelled. 18 came running downstairs like a streak of lightening. "SHIT!!''she yelled and they ran towards the back door. As soon as they were outside something grabbed ChiChi's ponytail. "AHHH!'' she yelled accidentally dropping Bulma. Bulma rolled towards a tree where she thumped against it. "OWW!!'' she moaned rubbing her head. She looked up in horror as Vegeta tightly gripped her friends hair. "Well,Well,Well what do we have here?'' he said sarcastically. ChiChi looked to the side and gasped. "Vegeta!! Let me go!!'' she yelled. Vegeta smirked and gripped her hair tighter. ChiChi growled and swung her leg above her head hitting Vegeta square in the nose. He instantly released her. ChiChi turned towards him and got one good punch in his face. Vegeta stumbled back an inch and turned back towards ChiChi only to have her karate kick him in the face. She smiled in triumph at the damage she had done, even though he was only bleeding from a tiny scratch on his cheek. Vegeta growled and fazed behind her. ChiChi screamed as Vegeta put both his hands together and struck her across the head, sending her into a nearby tree where she collapsed. He turned towards Bulma, but was punched again by 18. As they battled Bulma sat and watched in awe as her friend got a couple of hits to Vegeta's stomach. But as soon as they jumped into the air Vegeta fazed behind her and landed a hard kick to her head and she pummeled to the ground. Vegeta gracefully landed to the ground and began walking towards Bulma.
Bulma sat up right and began scooting away from him. She then bumped into a tree and was trapped. Vegeta bent down in front of her and grabbed a big clump of her hair and pulled. "Did you really think you could get away from me, onna?'' he asked. Bulma slowly opened her eyes. "Yes, I did,'' she growled. Vegeta frowned. 'She's got a lot of spunk now,' he said. He stood pulling Bulma against his body tightly. "You have some nerve talking to me like that,wench,'' he said. Bulma scowled. "Well, Vegeta after all the things you did to me, I should have a right to speak to you as I wish,'' she mumbled. Vegeta smirked. Bulma was about to comment again, but she felt something in her legs. 'Yes, I can walk again,' she thought. She backed away from Vegeta and nearly lost her balance. Vegeta's smirk grew even wider. "So, you can walk again? I guess I'll have to change that,'' he said chuckling evilly. Bulma growled and raced towards him swinging her fists. She tried her best to hit him, but every punch missed. "YOU BASTARD!!!'' she yelled earning herself one good kick to his ribs. She thought she had broken them, but come to find out she had only heard her leg pop. Ignoring the little pain she stood back and watched as Vegeta laughed hysterically. He was laughing so hard that tears were running down his face. 'Bastard. Wait is his eyes closed?' She asked herself. She peered closer to his face and sure enough his eyes were closed. She took this as a chance to run. She ran as fast as she could deeper into the forest dodging low limbs and branches. She had been looking back as she ran and didn't notice that she came to the edge of a water fall. She stopped just in time as she came to the edge. Taking a deep calming breath, she looked down below at the little lake. 'I think I'm going to jump,' she said to herself. She took a few steps back and with all the will power she had she ran and dived off the cliff. She landed gracefully in the water and swam under the water fall into a deep dark cave. 'Please don't let him find me,' she prayed.
Soon she began to shiver because of the cold breezes that were coming from the splashing water. She gasped when she heard someone moving outside. She could make out two figures standing in front of her. "BULMA!!'' they yelled. Bulma smiled praisingly. It was ChiChi and 18. "In Here!!'' she yelled. The two figure dived under the waterfall and climbed into the cave. "Bulma, thank god we found you,'' ChiChi said. Bulma smiled and hugged her two friends. "How did you get away from Vegeta?'' she asked them. Both girls smirked. "The same way you did,'' 18 said. Bulma giggled and hugged them again. They were busily talking when Bulma noticed a shape appear outside the waterfall. She covered her friends mouths and moved them deeper into the cave. She heard a loud splash and her breathing became rapid. 'Please…please…please…,'' she chanted over and over. The figure stood in front of the waterfall and searched it. She knew it was Vegeta because of the flame like shape of the head. He began walking deeper in. Bulma crossed her legs when he was just in front of her. "I know your in here onna, I can smell you,'' he said looking around. Bulma closed her eyes and wished with all her might he would go away.
When she opened her eyes she was met with two flashing onyx eyes which belonged to an angry looking Vegeta. She screamed and moved her hands off her friends mouths. "Leave,'' he commanded 18 and ChiChi. "No," they said in unison. Vegeta stared blankly at them for a few minutes before forming two chi balls in his hands. Bulma gasped. "NOO!!'' she yelled jumping in front of her friends. Tears began running down her face. "Either your friends die or you die,'' he said. Bulma held her breath. She didn't want to die, but she also didn't want to be have the burden of her friends deathes on her either, so she sighed. She stared at them then back at Vegeta. Her tears stopped. She stared deep into Vegeta's eyes and could have sworn she saw something of regret in them, it as fast as it appeared it was gone. "Go,'' she told 18 and ChiChi. "Bulma are you crazy?!! We're not going to sit here and let you die,'' 18 yelled. "Yeah Bulma, don't do this,'' ChiChi commented. Bulma turned around and smiled at them sadly her tears flowing again. "I have to do this. Either way…I'm going to die…Now go,'' she said the last two words more harsher. ChiChi and 18 gaped for a minute then nodded. "We love you Bulma, take care,'' ChiChi said hugging her friend, with tears running down her face. Bulma nodded and hugged her back. "I love you guys too,'' Bulma said releasing her. She turned slowly and noticed her friend was sobbing. "Oh 18,'' she sobbed and hugged her friend. 18 sobbed in her shoulder. "You…sniff… will have revenge Bulma,'' she said. Bulma hugged her tighter and released her. 18 and ChiChi stood and glared at Vegeta before swimming out the cave. Blue and onyx eyes stared into one another for what seemed like an eternity. Slowly Bulma stood up and walked towards Vegeta. Before he knew what was happening Bulma pressed her lips against his. He tightly closed his eyes enjoying the first time that Bulma ever given him a kiss. He formed a ki ball in his hand and placed it in front of her stomach. Bulma sobbed into his mouth when she felt the ki ball buring into her stomach. Bulma tightened her hands around his neck. "I love you,'' she mumbled against his lips.
