You Can't Touch Me Now
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ or this song…DBZ belongs to A. Toriyama, etc. and the song is by Innocence
~*~*~*~*~*~
You can't touch me now
Like you did before
You can't make me cry
Baby, anymore
Now I'm feelin' strong
No more cold dark love
Oh, you can try but
Boy, you can't touch me now

Bulma stretched as she drank in the warmth of the morning sun. Several days had past since Vegeta had blown up the GR, and surprisingly, things were a bit less strained between them. Yamcha had called several times, twice when she was in a meeting, and a few times when she was at home. She hung up on all of them.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Used to be the world to me
Used to be the reason that I lived
And I give, oh, baby
Every day I trusted you
And believe that you are on my side
Guess I was blind, oh, baby
It was hard to do but I knew
It was time to let go and I think you know
I think you know
~*~*~*~*~*~
Spinning around, eyes tightly closed, Bulma swung her hips to the rhythm of the beat, singing loudly along with the radio. Nearly screaming when a hand touched her shoulder, she spun around to see a rueful looking Yamcha. Her face darkened, and he seemed to cower when he realized how angry she still was, but he managed to apologize, and beg for her forgiveness. Suddenly the words on the radio caught her attention.
~*~*~*~*~*~
You can't touch me now
Like you did before
You can't make me cry
Baby, anymore
Now I'm feelin' strong
No more cold dark love
Oh, you can try but
Boy, you can't touch me now
~*~*~*~*~*~
For some reason, it struck her as funny, and she began laughing. Yamcha stared incredulously at her, but she simply shook her head, unable to speak. Finally, she pointed to the radio, and he listened. His face grew cloudy when the words registered, and he said something angrily to her. Not really paying attention, the blue-haired woman just waved him off and told him to leave.
~*~*~*~*~*~
You knew how to get to me
How to really cut with your words
You wrote the book, oh, baby
Now you say you've thought about
Everything that made us fall apart
And we're so far, oh, baby
Well, you've had some time and you admit
You were wrong, too late I'm gone
Too late I'm gone!
~*~*~*~*~*~
He began yelling at her, and she fell silent, listening to him. Tears sprang unbidden to her eyes when she heard him verbally assault her. Covering her ears, she screamed at him to leave, not wishing to hear his hateful words, as a seed of doubt began to creep into her mind.
~*~*~*~*~*~
You can't touch me now
Like you did before
You can't make me cry
Baby, anymore
Now I'm feelin' strong
No more cold dark love
Oh, you can try but
Boy, you can't touch me now
~*~*~*~*~*~
Suddenly, she was aware of silence. Opening her eyes, she saw her ex-lover staring terrified over her shoulder. Turning, Bulma saw the Saiyan prince standing in the doorway. His face held an expression she had never seen before, not even when Goku was around. Deep fury and rage seemed to permeate into his very soul. Energy swirled around him in a dark pattern.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Oh, you've got some nerve to think that I'd
Run back to you again and again
When all you did was tear me down
And you're not even my friend
You're not even my friend
~*~*~*~*~*~
Yamcha fled out the door without Vegeta uttering a word, and he started to follow. Bulma touched his arm to stop him, and, as tears ran down her face, asked him if what Yamcha said was true. He didn't answer, but pulled her into his embrace, holding her until her tears ran dry. When she collapsed, exhausted against him, he picked her up and carried her to her room.
~*~*~*~*~*~
You can't touch me now
Like you did before
You can't make me cry
Baby, anymore
Now I'm feelin' strong
No more cold dark love (No more cold dark love)
Oh, you can try but
Boy, you can't touch me
~*~*~*~*~*~
Snuggling deep into the covers, the blue-haired scientist smiled. No matter what Yamcha said, she knew it was not true. Allowing sleep to overcome her, she dreamt of a soft touch and sad dark eyes then seemed to express such loneliness and sadness. She dreamt of a prince…
~*~*~*~*~*~
You can't touch me, hold me, give me love
You can't make me cry
You can't touch me, hold me, give me love
Oh, you can try but
Boy, you can't touch me now
