An- well here I am, back again! Sorry it took me a little longer to update,
but as most of you fellow unlucky high schools students know, it's exam
time...and that takes away about 99.9% of your time...so updating was not an
option! But on a happier note...SUMMER VACATION HERE I COME!!! LOL! But
anyway, now that summer is here, I have loads of time to type the chapters
up! Fortunate to y'all! LOL! Anyway, enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 8
Bulma's eyes opened groggily as she heard others moving around. Rolling on to her side, Bulma saw as Chichi and 18 stretched and then turned towards her.
"Oh!" Chichi exclaimed in surprise, "You're up! We were just about to wake you!"
' Lovely,' Bulma thought to herself, sitting up, ' today I get to build the stupid gravity machine for the stupid prince... I'm kidding myself if I really think I can do this all in one day!'
"Thanks guys," Bulma said, getting to her feet and brushing some dirt off the sides of her pant legs, "but I must be off...I need every moment today so I can finish this stupid machine before sunset,"
Without another word, Bulma hurried off and into the hallway, leaving the other two to stare off at her with pity.
"She'll have so much to do!" Chichi sighed, "I'm starting to wonder if even Bulma can do all that she's expected to!"
"Of course she can..." 18's voice trailed off as she got to her feet and she and Chichi started to leave for the kitchen.
. . . . . .
Bulma hurried down the dark corridor quietly until she reached the small room that had been decided the gravity room would be held in. She was lucky she guessed, that the room was already built and all she really had to do was build a machine that cold alter the gravity inside. It could be worse...
Once entering, Bulma found that all the tools and parts she had said she would need were piled at the back of the room, along with a huge, slightly old and dusty computer. There was another thing she didn't have to do...build a damn computer. All she had to do now was build the master chip, program the computer and pray that the damn machine would actually work in the end.
' Ok,' she thought to herself, surveying the tools, parts and her workspace, ' first things first, I'll have to build the master chip. Kami...please let me have this stupid thing done by sunrise! Something tells me the Sayijin prince would royally pissed off...and he is defiantly NOT someone I want to piss off...'
Throwing off her doubts, Bulma started to grab parts and such she would need to build the thing.
. . . . . .
Within two and a half hours, the master chip was built and ready to be put to the test. Of course, the computer would have to be programmed first...and that was on the other side of the room from where she wanted it. It looked awfully heavy...but she could at least TRY to move it...
Bulma marched over to the computer and with a sigh, placed her hands against the side of the metal, and with all of her might, pushed as hard as she could. The machine didn't even budge.
' Damn! I knew that would not work!'
Suddenly, the computer started to move. Bulma back up in shock, wondering what the hell was going on. It took her a few minutes to realize that someone was pulling it across the room to where the tools were piled up. Bulma was even more shocked when the machine stopped moving and Vegeta stepped out from behind it.
Her mouth fell open and she stared at him blankly. ' What the hell!?'
Vegeta looked up and glared at the expression on her face "Just making sure you were actually working, and since you are obviously too weak to move it yourself and I want it done by the end of the day,"
"Ah...thanks..." she replied awkwardly.
Vegeta gave a grunt and just walked away, leaving Bulma to watch him leave. ' Did he just...help me?'
Shaking her head, Bulma again turned her attention back to the old computer.
Bulma took another few hours actually programming the thing and soon, all she had left was to make sure the thing actually worked.
. . . . . . .
After lunch, Kakkrot, Krillin and Vegeta were summoned for a meeting of the royal guard. They made their towards the royal chamber.
"What the hell does the old an want?!" Vegeta, who was for some unknown reason pissed off, growled.
"How should we know?" Krillin replied, "It's a sudden meeting..."
Kakkrot stayed silent as the two spoke, lost in his own thoughts.
When they arrived (late of course) the king and Barddock looked very unpleased.
"Since these three have finally decided to join us," The king growled, glaring at the three, "I can finally let you know what's going on,"
"It seems," Barddock cut in, "we have a traitor in our midst,"
Everyone froze. Who would dare go against their king? All of the Sayijins eyes each other suspiciously.
"All of you stop looking like idiots! Do you really think if the traitor was in the room right now he'd still be alive?! The traitor has already fled, and it was Raditz, Barddock's son,"
Kakkrot's mouth fell open in surprise and he suddenly felt like his head was swimming. ' Raditz...a traitor...'
"As it seems," the king continued harshly, "Frezia now knows all of our plans, which means trouble. I want ten soldiers to be launched, and you WILL find Frezia's ship, and you will report back here once it is located. From there, we will plan an attack upon it,"
After that was said, everyone left quickly. The ten soldiers were chosen, Barddock among them, and all the others filed out and went their own ways.
Kakkrot was in a state of disbelief. His brother...was a traitor. He couldn't understand how Raditz could betray his own people like this...
Kakkrot slowly made his way to the kitchen, where he found Chichi talking to her friend 18.
Chichi's raven eyes lit up when she saw Kakkrot enter the room.
"Hello Kakkrot," she spoke warmly, smiling up at him.
Kakkrot tried to smile back, for he was happy to see Chichi, but found that he couldn't...too much was wrong at this moment.
Chichi's face went into one of concern as she realized something was wrong. "What's wrong Kakkrot?" she asked, concern in her voice as she stepped towards him.
Knowing that this was a conversation only between the other two, 18 slipped out of the kitchen without a word, leaving the two lovers to talk.
. . . . . .
By early evening, Bulma was finished her work on the GR. It was still so unbelievable that she had actually got the whole damn thing built in a day!
Taking a deep breath, Bulma turned the knob on the machine, increasing the gravity within the room by ten times. This was a test run. The gravity increased all right, and it caused Bulma to be pushed to the ground.
Bulma pulled herself up with great effort and bracing all of her weight on the desk top, switched the gravity level back to normal. She laughed.
' I can't believe it! I actually did it! Even I doubted myself, but I actually pulled it off! I am so good I even surprise myself sometimes!'
Just after she thought these thoughts passed through her mind, the door to the building flew open, and in stormed a very angry looking Sayijin price.
"Is it done?! I swear woman if it's not..."
"Oh just shut up! It's done!" At the moment, Bulma didn't care that she had just told the prince of Sayijins to shut up. She had worked hardcore all day to build the damn thing for him and she was in no mood to be threatened.
"Look woman," Vegeta growled while glaring at her, "I wouldn't talk back if I were you!"
"Get over yourself! You don't scare me!"
Vegeta, for some odd reason, found this amusing. "Is that so?"
' Me and my big mouth!' Bulma swore to herself, but firmly held her ground, "Yes it is!"
In what was like a flash, Vegeta grabbed Bulma's wrist and pulled her towards him.
"Are you sure you don't fear me?"
Bulma felt her heart start to beat faster within her chest. Obvious fear shone in her eyes, but she replied anyway "ye...yes..." she stammered, feeling quite terrified under his intense glare.
Smirking his evil smirk, Vegeta let go of her wrist and took a step backwards "Then why are you stuttering?"
This, for some reason, just pissed Bulma off. "Look, I've built your damn machine, so let me get out of here and screw off!"
Vegeta stared at the woman in front of him in almost wonder. No one in all of his life had ever stood up to him the way this human woman was.
"You know woman," he spoke plainly, "I could have you killed for talking like that,"
"I don't care anymore!" She cried angrily, "My life has been and is a living hell! You would be doing me a favor by killing me off! It would get me out of this torment and off this Kami forsaken planet!"
Tears started to well up in her eyes...and after a while, they started to fall. She tried to stop, but couldn't stop herself from crying. It was eleven years' worth of sorrow that was coming from her now.
Vegeta looked on and was first taken back, and then he felt strong pity towards the woman. She looked...so miserable, so defenseless like this. Inside of him, all sorts of emotions started to float around.
Suddenly, the realization came to Vegeta. He cared for this human woman, possibly even loved her. He had no clue how or when this had happened, but sometime within the past days, this human woman had somehow found herself within his heart.
Bulma continued to cry. Only did she start to stop when two strong arms wrapped around her. For some reason or another, she felt save with Vegeta holding her...safer than she had ever felt before...
